Church Farmhouse

Church Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 17th century, which was remodeled in the mid 18th century when it was extended to the north and south. An early 19th-century two-storey porch and a small addition were added at the south end. The building is constructed of local gault brick, which replaced the original timber-frame structure in the rear range. It features a plain tiled roof that is mainly gabled, except for a hipped roof at the north end, and has a dentil eaves cornice throughout, with ridge and end stacks.

The original house was a single range with its end facing the road. The mid 18th-century addition creates a T-plan, which was altered in the early 19th century with the addition of the two-storey porch at the front. The family part of the house is two storeys high, while the domestic wing at the south end is one storey with an attic. The mid 18th-century family part has hung sash windows, and the domestic wing features horizontal sliding sash windows.

The early 19th-century two-storey porch has a tumbled gable end and includes a recessed four-pane hung sash window above a recessed doorway in a round-headed arch. There are early 19th-century extensions to the domestic wing at the south end, built with similar brick and tiles featuring tumbling. This wing is one storey and turns a corner to the yard. At the rear, there are two dormers and two mid 18th-century doorways with doorcases, each having six raised and fielded panels.

Inside, the late 17th-century house retains part of its original roof, including the ridge piece and principal rafters with a collar, while the rest of the roof is modern. The ground floor features intersecting main beams that are stop-chamfered, possibly reused. A mid 18th-century dog-leg staircase with a closed string, square newel, fluted toads back rail, and column balusters is present. The early 19th-century gable porch has a vestibule with one door leading to an early 19th-century office and another door leading to the hall of the mid 18th-century house. In the kitchen, there is a mid 18th-century corner cupboard with a round-headed arch, raised and fielded panels, shaped shelves, and a dentil frieze, along with other doors featuring similar panelling.
